Description of Problem

This guide will show you how to export iCloud contacts to a file then import that file into Outlook. 

1. Export iCloud Contacts

Step 1:

Browse to iCloud and ask the user to login to their iCloud account that has the contacts that need to be exported.

Step 2:

Go to the "Contacts" section in iCloud - then click on the Settings cog on the bottom left. 

Step 3:

Click "Select All" then click "export contacts to VCARD" - This will save a VCF file to the laptop.

2. Importing to Outlook

Step 1:

While Outlook has the capability of importing VCF files, it can only import one contact at a time. Obviously this is a major issue if you are wanting to import hundreds of contacts! 

You'll want to convert the file to CSV by using a converter tool such as this one: VCF to CSV - Convert document online (aconvert.com) 

Step 2:

Once you have the CSV file you'll want to import it. While Outlook desktop app can do it I would recommend using Outlook online for this.  Select the "People" tab on the left side and click "import contacts"

Step 3:

Outlook will then ask for a CSV file. Pick the one you had just converted and click "Next"

You should see all the contacts fill up the people tab. You're done!
